Golf and social interaction on the course promotes dopamin generation which gives us a little high and at the same time kills pain. Enjoying a round with your old friends, or new ones you make on the way, will bring laughter and relaxation on your walk. Findings from a Swedish study in 2009 found golfers to have an increased life expectancy of about five years compared to non-golfers. Golf has a very positive impact on your overall health - mental health included.
